If you thought BreachForums had removed itself from existence, well... I guess we're in Star Wars now! Because just like Palpatine's unexpected return that literally nobody asked for, I was not expecting BF to come back as BreachStars in the span of a millisecond.
Once again, it offers users the "unique opportunity" to purchase and obtain leaked databases, both through free listings and paid access. Truly revolutionary... said no one ever.
However, the new team seems pretty incompetent so far. The domain has already changed more times than a MovieStarPlanet username: from breachsta.rs to bstars.st (widely hated by the community of those sociopaths), then breachstars.st, breachstars.hn, breachstars.io, back to breachstars.hn, and finally at the moment of writing breachstars.io. Stability clearly isn't in their vocabulary.
Bug Bounty Program
Apart from the classic BreachForums mentality allegedly carried over by ShinyHunters, the new owners also announced a bug bounty program for which we will be "fairly rewarded," whatever that's supposed to mean. Considering the current state of the platform, I wouldn't be shocked if the reward was a Discord Nitro gift.
Missing Features & Outages
Additionally, the whole website is missing most of the basic functionality BreachForums had. The admins claim this is to "ensure nothing is vulnerable," which I personally find hard to believe... especially when there have already been six major outages. Two were explained as backend issues, the rest were simply treated as if silence itself could fix a backend.
Final Thoughts
If I had to sum everything up, I'd suggest monitoring the existence of this website, purely for entertainment value! But I wouldn't recommend signing up. Just like BreachStars' predecessors, BreachForums and RaidForums, a takedown is inevitable. And given the competence of the team running it, I'm more than certain that user data will very likely be compromised along the way.
